Absolutely not – it is physically impossible for a contact lens to become lodged "behind" your eye. A thin membrane covers your eye and connects to the inside of your eyelids, so the lens cannot move off the front surface of your eye.
Fact
There are many "urban legends" about contact lenses getting stuck or fused to people's eyes. While contact lenses are never a substitute for protective eyewear, lenses do offer an additional barrier against injury to your eye, and with patience, they can virtually always be removed.
Fact
Contacts are, on the contrary, simple to use and hassle-free. For regular lenses, ask your Eye Care Practitioner for an easy-care, one-step lens solution. You can also choose daily disposable lenses that you can wear for a day and throw away.
Fact
Soft contact lenses are very comfortable and easy to wear. Most people get used to their lenses in minutes, and afterwards, say that it feels like nothing at all is being worn in the eye.
Fact
Many years ago, hard contact lenses used to do this sometimes. But with proper selection of appropriate lenses and fitting, your lenses should stay in place no matter how active you are.
Fact
Many contact lens wearers are teens. Wearing and caring for your contact lens is very important, but it is a much more convenient alternative to wearing glasses. As long as you are responsible enough to take care of your lenses, age doesn't matter.
Fact
Some lens-related health problems do occur, but these are almost always a result of poor cleaning routines or other care-related issues. If you follow your Eye Care Professional’s directions, your eyes are at little risk of infection.
